Santa Barbara Beach
6.2 out of 10, (91 reviews)
"This place was a complete misrepresentation of their location. There was no pool on site. There were no amenities on site. The mentalities were for a hotel across the street, which is a completely different establishment potentially owned by the same owners, but it’s not in your hotel and items are across the street and you’ll be sharing them with another hotel. Yeah, it’s just a couple minutes from the beach, but it’s not worth the money or the stay"

They mentioned in the website that there were fun activities such as a pool, the pool was not working, it was very hot and the pool would have made it more enjoyable . Also, they mentioned there was basketball courts they were very old and no balls for us to use . Also it said there was miniature golf we did not see any clubs to be used.
